[ti:Lily Rosemary And The Jack Of He] [ar:Joan Baez] [al:Diamonds] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Lily Rosemary And The Jack Of He - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹) [00:18.90]The festival was over [00:20.38]And the boys were all plannin' for a fall [00:23.60] [00:25.57]The cabaret was quiet except for [00:28.34]The drillin' in the wall [00:30.37] [00:32.19]The curfew had been lifted [00:33.63]And the gamblin' wheel shut down [00:35.95] [00:36.90]Anyone with any sense had already left town [00:40.35] [00:41.15]He was standin' in the doorway [00:43.70]Lookin' like the Jack of Hearts [00:46.26] [00:50.24]He moved across the mirrored room [00:52.60]Set it up for everyone he said [00:56.16] [00:56.95]Then everyone commenced to do [00:59.29]What they were doin' before he turned their heads [01:02.53] [01:03.69]Then he walked up to a stranger [01:05.58]And he asked him with a grin [01:08.24]Could you kindly tell me friend [01:10.84]What time the show begins [01:12.85]Then he moved into the corner [01:14.69]Face down like the Jack of Hearts [01:18.00] [01:21.94]Backstage the girls were playin' [01:24.07]Five card stud by the stairs [01:27.12] [01:28.41]Lily had two queens [01:29.85]She was hopin' for a third to match her pair [01:34.16] [01:34.94]Outside the streets were fillin' up [01:37.07]The window was open wide [01:38.72] [01:39.46]A gentle breeze was blowin' [01:41.16]You could feel it from inside [01:43.26] [01:43.84]Lily called another bet and drew up [01:47.05]The Jack of Hearts [01:49.05] [01:53.21]Big Jim was no one's fool [01:54.92]He owned the town's only diamond mine [01:57.43] [01:59.59]He made his usual entrance [02:01.40] [02:02.04]Lookin' so dandy and so fine [02:04.86] [02:06.29]With his bodyguards and silver cane [02:08.08]And every hair in place [02:10.65]He took whatever he wanted to [02:12.66]And he laid it all to waste [02:15.22]But his bodyguards and silver cane were [02:17.36]No match for the Jack of Hearts [02:20.76] [02:24.46]Rosemary combed her hair [02:26.78]And took a carriage into town [02:29.51] [02:30.81]She slipped in through the side door [02:33.35]Lookin' like a queen without a crown [02:36.07] [02:37.53]She fluttered her false eyelashes [02:39.41]And whispered in his ear [02:42.02]Sorry darlin' that I'm late [02:44.41]But he didn't seem to hear [02:46.46]He was starin' into space [02:48.03] [02:48.56]Over at the Jack of Hearts [02:51.99] [02:55.36]I know I've seen that face somewhere [02:58.05]Big Jim was thinkin' to himself [03:00.75] [03:02.45]Maybe down in Mexico or a picture [03:05.36]Up on somebody's shelf [03:07.51] [03:08.71]But then the crowd began to stamp [03:10.16]Their feet and the house lights dipped dim [03:13.18]And in the darkness of the room [03:15.31]There was only Jim and him [03:16.95] [03:17.81]Starin' at the butterfly [03:19.27] [03:19.90]Who just drew the Jack of Hearts [03:23.89] [03:26.93]Lily was a princess she was fair [03:29.51]Skinned and precious as a child [03:32.43] [03:33.69]And there certain something [03:34.99] [03:35.94]Was kind of flash every time she smiled [03:38.98] [03:39.86]She had come away from a broken [03:41.71]Home and lots of strange affairs [03:43.42] [03:44.30]With men in every walk of life [03:46.30]Which took her everywhere [03:48.00] [03:48.62]But she'd never met anyone [03:51.38]Quite like the Jack of Hearts [03:54.42] [03:58.06]The hangin' judge came in unnoticed [04:01.12]And was being wined and dined [04:03.21] [04:04.79]The drillin' in the wall kept up [04:06.77]But no one seemed to pay it any mind [04:10.15] [04:10.90]It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring [04:14.79] [04:15.67]And nothing would ever come [04:17.16]Between Lily and the king [04:19.57] [04:20.20]No nothin' ever would except [04:22.90]Maybe the Jack of Hearts [04:25.33] [04:29.27]Rosemary started drinkin' hard [04:30.73]And seein' her reflection in the knife [04:34.09] [04:35.55]She was tired of the attention [04:37.05] [04:38.04]Tired of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife [04:40.80] [04:42.19]She had done a lot of bad things [04:44.11]Even once tried suicide [04:45.63] [04:46.87]Was lookin' to do just one [04:48.37]Good deed before she died [04:51.00]She was gazin' to the future [04:53.42]Riding on the Jack of Hearts [04:57.02] [05:00.31]Lily took her dress off buried it away [05:05.43] [05:06.62]Has your luck run out she laughed at him [05:09.15]Well I guess you must have known it would someday [05:11.88] [05:13.14]Be careful not to touch the wall [05:15.66]There's a brand new coat of paint [05:17.18] [05:17.89]I'm glad to see you're still alive [05:19.54]You lookin' like a saint [05:21.58] [05:22.32]Down the hallway footsteps were comin' [05:25.07]For the Jack of Hearts [05:27.65] [05:31.56]The backstage manager was pacing [05:34.11]All around by his chair [05:36.51] [05:37.81]There's somethin' funny going on [05:39.98]And I know I can just feel it in the air [05:43.70] [05:44.49]He went to get the hangin' judge [05:46.60]But the hangin' judge was drunk [05:49.06]As the leading actor hurried [05:50.48]By in the costume of a monk [05:52.90]There was no actor anywhere [05:55.91]Better than the Jack of Hearts [05:59.33] [06:02.72]Lily's has her arms locked around [06:05.14] [06:05.77]She dearly loved to touch [06:08.23] [06:08.94]She forgot all about the man [06:11.10]She heated who hounded her so much [06:14.29] [06:15.47]I've missed you so she said to him [06:18.13]And he felt she was sincere [06:19.74] [06:20.31]But in the whole way [06:21.54]He felt jealousy and fear [06:23.87] [06:24.70]Just another night [06:26.36]In the life of the Jack of Hearts [06:30.26] [06:33.30]Well No one knew the circumstance [06:35.51]But they say it happened pretty quick [06:38.34] [06:40.30]The door to the dressing room burst open [06:42.88]And a cold revolver clicked [06:45.38] [06:46.52]And Big Jim was standin' there [06:49.04]Ya couldn't say surprised [06:51.02]Rosemary right beside him [06:53.11]Steady in her eyes [06:55.01]She was with Big Jim [06:56.85]But she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts [07:01.13] [07:04.84]Two doors down the boys [07:07.30]Finally made it through the wall [07:10.04] [07:10.97]And cleaned out the bank safe [07:13.27]It's said that they got off with quite a haul [07:16.63] [07:17.61]In the darkness by the riverbed [07:19.54]They waited on the ground [07:21.96]For one more member [07:23.68]Who had business back in town [07:26.49]But they couldn't go no further [07:28.22] [07:28.75]Without the Jack of Hearts [07:31.15] [07:35.71]The next day was hangin' day [07:37.93]The sky was overcast and black [07:41.15] [07:42.52]Big Jim lay covered up [07:44.66]Killed by a penknife in the back [07:47.83] [07:48.44]And Rosemary on the gallows [07:50.65] [07:51.21]She didn't even blink [07:52.56] [07:53.38]The hangin' judge was sober [07:55.61]He hadn't had a drink [07:57.68]The only person on the scene [08:00.18]Missin' was the Jack of Hearts [08:03.28] [08:06.67]The cabaret was empty now [08:08.78]A sign said Closed for repair [08:11.21] [08:13.51]Lily had already taken [08:15.11]All of the dye out of her hair [08:18.92] [08:19.68]She was thinkin' 'bout her father [08:21.69]Who she very rarely saw [08:23.93] [08:24.45]Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary [08:26.34]And thinkin' about the law [08:28.91]But most of all [08:30.41]She was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of Hearts
